After another sensational performance for Liverpool against Manchester City at the weekend, Reds boss Arne Slot has reiterated his desire for star man Mohamed Salah to pen new terms at Anfield and remain on Merseyside beyond the end of this season when his existing contract expires.

Salah moved six goals clear in the race for the Premier League Golden Boot by opening the scoring at the Etihad Stadium and then helped see the result over the line by defending brilliantly in the second half.

After the 2-0 win for Liverpool and Arsenal losing to West Ham United, the Reds moved into what is surely an unassailable 11-point lead at the top of the standings.

"You can look at it in both ways," Slot said during his press conference.

For everyone else it is the best because if you want to be at this club, you need to be at his level, otherwise you are almost useless to play at this club.

"We only need players who are at the top of their game because this is one of the best clubs — or the best club — in the world to play for.

The same can be said of Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold, who remain in the same contract position.
